additional information |
inhibitors of protein kinase C ablate DHCR24 activity, although not through a known phosphorylation site T110. PKC inhibitors, BIM and Ro-318220, reduce cholesterol levels and accumulate desmosterol within 4 h, indicating decreased DHCR24 activity |

phosphoprotein |
protein kinase C (PKC) activates DHCR24 activity through reversible phosphorylation. PKC inhibitors, BIM and Ro-318220, reduce cholesterol levels and accumulate desmosterol within 4 h, indicating decreased DHCR24 activity. Phosphorylation at T110 modulates DHCR24 activity |

malfunction |
mutating residues T110, Y299, and Y507 of known phosphorylation sites inhibits DHCR24 activity. Seven missense mutations in DHCR24 have been described in desmosterolosis: R94H, R103C, E191K, N294T, K306N, Y471S, E480K. PKC inhibition results in desmosterol accumulation |
